Morgan had recently elected for free agency after being removed from the Royals' 40-man roster. The right-handed reliever has logged a 5.12 ERA and 16:9 K:BB over 19.1 innings in the majors this season, and he holds a 1.40 ERA and 35:15 K:BB across 25.2 frames at the Triple-A level in 2026.

Morgan elected free agency Sunday.

Aug 17Rotowire

Morgan cleared waivers after the Royals designated him for assignment Thursday, and rather than sticking around in the organization and reporting to Triple-A Omaha, he'll assess his options on the open market. Before losing his spot on the Royals' 40-man roster, Morgan made 16 appearances out of the big-league bullpen and logged a 5.12 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 19.1 frames.

The Royals outrighted Morgan to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

Aug 17Rotowire

Morgan was booted off the 40-man roster last week, but he'll remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The right-handed reliever holds a 5.12 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 19.1 innings in the majors this season.

The Royals designated Morgan for assignment Thursday.

Aug 13Rotowire

Morgan owns a 5.12 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 19.1 innings in the majors this year but has been far more effective at Triple-A, posting a 1.40 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 25.2 frames. He'll now end up as the roster casualty necessary to clear space on the 40-man roster for Tony Gonsolin (elbow), who signed a major-league deal with Kansas City on Thursday.

The Royals optioned Morgan to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

Jul 24Rotowire

Morgan will make his way back to Triple-A after spending two weeks with the big-league club. The 30-year-old made just two appearances since being recalled July 10 with Kansas City. The Royals demoted Morgan to make room for Nate Pearson on the active roster.
